Sypnosis:
Nexus Beasts weaves a gripping tale of ambition and loss, set in a world where magic and mayhem collide. Devi, the most formidable and malevolent sorcerer of her realm, stands on the brink of ultimate domination. Yet, in a twist of fate, her insatiable thirst for power and overconfidence become her downfall. In an explosive moment of reckoning, the myriad of powers she pilfered from the magical beings of her world are wrenched from her grasp. These powers, now transformed into mystical orbs known as "Wisps," are scattered across an unsuspecting city in the United States. These Wisps carry the potential to merge the essence of magical creatures with any living being they encounter, inadvertently imprisoning Devi within the confines of a black cat.
However, for Devi, this is merely a temporary defeat. Resolved to reclaim her formidable status, she embarks on a cunning strategy. Targeting average teenagers, whom she perceives as pliable, she bestows upon them powers derived from the Wisps. These teens are unwittingly transformed into Drago-Bonds, entangled in a deceptive pact with Devi. Oblivious to the true nature of their powers, they find themselves battling monsters that plague their city, unaware that each victory edges Devi closer to her ultimate resurgence.

Synopsis:
We're seeking an actor who can put their own twist on a goofy, early-series villain for a recurring role. The character, King/Queen Slime, was once a powerful monarch ruling over all slimes but has since been reduced to a simple, weaker monster. Despite this, King/Queen Slime still feels and acts like a mighty king, embodying a humorous monarch sterotype.

I am sick of your disrespect I am the KING SLIME, you peasant girl. CAST: SLIME MISSILE!
They will martyr me!
I shall challenge you again once I rebuild my slime empire, you Dragon Scum! CAST: SLIME SHIFT.
Side Character:
Syponis:
We're casting for the role of James, a small-time gang leader with a magnetic and manic energy. We need an actor who can channel the intense, high-energy performance similar to Jake Gyllenhaal. The ideal candidate will embody the vibrancy of someone who is full of themselves and zestfully alive, while also having the ability to sound quite detestable. This role requires a dynamic presence that can both captivate and provoke the audience, capturing the essence of a truly memorable and controversial character.

Sorry I have to do this, but you left me no choice, Barney:.
Look, Barney:, you're a good guy. I know your struggle; my father isn't worth much either. But, dude, I can't let you slide again; it makes me look bad. First, you couldn't pay because you needed rent money, then it was your dad needing some medicine. Now, some kid stopped you? Come on, now. You even tried to throw your boy Duke into this. You know we don't get down with snitching. This has to happen, or no one is going to respect me as the boss around here.
I think he's had enough. Let him lay there for a bit to think things over.
One off character:
We're seeking an actor to play a deeply hateable, self-absorbed father. This character starts off subtly, giving only hints of being a bad parent, but as the story progresses, it becomes unmistakably clear just how dreadful he truly is. We need someone who can skillfully escalate from a nuanced performance to one that is utterly over-the-top, showcasing the full extent of the character's awfulness.

That’s my boy! Like my late man always said, sometimes you have to get rough and dirty to get money. Alright, now, stop acting slow; you know the drill. How much did you make? We have to pay the electric bill before they cut off the power again.
Oh, be quiet, kid. She left you with me. She could have taken you with her, but she didn’t. She'd rather start something new with your sister than deal with you. Know what? She thinks you’re spoiled goods. (laughs)
SHUT UP, Barney. We are men; we don’t take handouts. Where did I go wrong with you? Your mother said you picked up my traits, but that stupid woman didn’t know what she was talking about. We’re nothing alike.
One off character:
Lin is at her wit's end with her terrible husband. She's nearly reached her breaking point due to his incessant toxicity and is utterly fed up with his behavior. T

That kid takes so much after you; it’s scary.
Bad joke, Paul! And I thought we talked about this. I am done after Cindy.
Don’t yell at him over a catch.
Minor Character:
We're looking to cast a role for a gang member who's down on their luck. This character is trapped in a life of crime not out of desire but necessity, struggling with moral conflicts while trying to make ends meet.

Yo, Barn, BARN, Barney, wake up, man.
Come on, man. I know we busted you up good. Man,keep this between us; I didn’t even want to do it, but I got to be on James' good side. Man, I got mouths to feed at home.
Good minute, man. James told us to leave you on the ground for a couple of hours until it got dark. We are at your spot now, though.
Recurring Character:
We're casting for the role of Linda, a resilient firefighter and mother to the protagonist, Matthrew. Linda embodies toughness developed from her experiences as a teen mom. Like Uncle Ben from Spider-Man, she serves as a pivotal moral guide and mentor in Matthrew's life, offering guidance, support, and profound life lessons that shape his story. We need an actor who can portray Linda's strength and nurturing nature, balancing her tough exterior with the warmth required of a supportive mother. Her background as a firefighter and young mother adds depth and complexity to her character, enhancing her presence as a central and stabilizing force in Matthrew's tumultuous world.

Back in my day, superhero movies were all about saving people, you know, rescuing cats from trees, putting out burning buildings, and fighting the bad guys came second.
Matthew, I love you. Believe me, I wish I could help myself, but this is who I am. I have this compulsion to help, to save people—it's just ingrained in me. And I know you've picked up on that from being with me.
I bet you do. Fine, me and Brock have been dating for a while now, and we want to move on to the next step in our relationship, but I want to make sure you are cool with them before we move further.
Recurring Character:
We're casting for the role of Mindy, the best friend of Carly, one of the main characters. Mindy is a whirlwind of energy, always operating at 100%—akin to a kid on a sugar high. However, we also need an actress who can adeptly handle the dramatic shift to displaying rage and depletion when Mindy feels repressed. This role requires a dynamic range, as the actress must convincingly portray both the highs of Mindy's boundless energy and the lows when she is drained of life and vigor.

Come tell me, now Matthrew, Now, RIGHT NOW! (Full of enegry)
(SIGH) Who care man, I don't care bro, leave me alone (depressed)
YES! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU MAN!
One-Off Characters:
We're casting for the role of a police officer who, while starting off as a seemingly generic figure, is anything but ordinary. We need an actor who can bring their own unique flair to this character, transforming him or her from a standard archetype into a memorable and distinct presence on screen.
